Master Degrees

Qualifications which signify the completion of the second cycle (Master degrees) are awarded to students who have completed a program of study that enables them to show:

 knowledge and comprehension that is founded upon, extends and enhances knowledge and comprehension associated with the Master level, and is at the forefront of a field of learning

 a critical awareness of current problems and new insights, new tools and new processes within their field of learning, or the development of professional skills

 that they can apply their knowledge and comprehension, their critical awareness and problem solving abilities, within the context of research, or in the development of professional skills, in broader or multidisciplinary areas related to their fields of study

 that they can integrate knowledge and handle complexity, to formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, either individually or in groups, which includes (where relevant) reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments

 that they can lead or initiate activity, and take responsibility for the intellectual activities of individuals or groups

 that they can communicate their conclusions, and knowledge, rationale and processes underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously

 that they possess the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.

Master Degrees

Qualifications which signify the completion of the second cycle (Master degrees) are awarded to students who have completed a program of study that enables them to show:

DUBLIN DESCRIPTOR QUALIFICATION

Knowledge and understanding Provides a basis or opportunity for originality in developing or applying ideas often in a research context.

Analyzing and defining problems: To be able to critically analyze the engineering problem through active communication with the problem owner, to translate this to a problem formulation, feasible solution approaches and scientifically valid conclusions and recommendations, to be communicated again to the problem owner.

Conducting research: To have gained specialized scientific knowledge and skills in the field of engineering.

Applying knowledge and understanding

Through problem solving abilities applied in new or unfamiliar environments within a broader (or multidisciplinary) context.

Design: To be able to systematically translate the engineering problem to a model at an abstract level, (i.e. reducing it to its essentials in terms of model and problem

requirements) and to validate results against the real life situation and problem formulation.

Testing: To be able to systematically translate the engineering problem to a concrete level, and to validate results against the real life situation and problem formulation.

Managing work processes: To be able to put engineering activities within the perspective of engineering company processes, including quality control principles. To be able to

incorporate the economical (cost) and societal (safety, sustainability) consequences in the design or development process.

Making judgements Demonstrates the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgements with incomplete data.
